Do you think this fediverse-analogy is any good for telling people about the fediverse?
(FYI: I’m not a native speaker so please bear with some potential grammatical errors)

Original take on it.
I like it because there no mention of instances nor other technicalities.
Thanks! I did that also because sometimes these technicalities change (at least the not underlying ones). For example in many graphics you have still Twitter but its now X.
Seems like it adds almost as many confusing things as it takes away. Maybe with some work it might potentially be helpful, but as it stands now I don’t think this’ll help most people understand the fediverse. IMO
Didn’t read the text; can the fediverse somehow bring back Tuca and Birdie?
If only!

It’s good, but the last paragraph with the hashtag is kinda cringe imo
Good or bad cringe?
Idk, it gives like “how do you do fellow kids” vibes, to me at least
I updated it. Thanks for the hint

We’re always trying to explain too much. This won’t get a casual person to join.
Fediverse is literally just a group of websites where everyone can see each other website’s posts. Pick any one and join and you’ll see everything.
The nuances and intricacies are irrelevant to get someone through the door.
For programmers — even if you’re not planning on working on Fediverse code yourself — I’d suggest actually reading the ActivityPub protocol. This will give you a better idea of what the technology is actually about.
Yeah I like this. I wanna go up to people and tell them my favourite social media is a bird party
I really like this analogy!
Thanks :)
“You can always hear the talk of birds in other nests” is a bit misleading, if technically true. You can’t hear it from every nest, only by flying around, and that’s intentional.
I’m so sad that Tuca and Bertie got cancelled.
It was like a more queer centered BoJack Horseman and I loved it. 😭
Tbh I actually stopped watching after the first season🙈 This one was awesome though.

Unironically one of the most wholesome shows in the known universe
I fucking love birds fuck yeah
I find this drawn out analogy condescending, people aren’t that stupid and federation is not that hard to explain.
Condescending to whom?
Edit: ok, in my circle, people have problems to understand federation and what’s actually the merits of it in a practical sense. If you only know people that understand it quickly anyways, don’t send it to them
